Hi Ladies,

To describe me is to think of a painting of many colors, and textures. I'm a nice guy who has had many experiences in life and I'm still learning as each day goes by. At this point in my life, I’m looking for my best friend and the love for the rest of my life. She should be smart, pretty, playful, sweet, sexy, and kind to me and animals. She should be a wonderful communicator and be able to verbalize her concerns and talk about any issues that might be bothering her. I'm a fine artist and I teach plein air pastel workshops around the country and world. I taught three workshops in Australia last year. Art is my profession, and my great desire is to create new paintings. I'm very serious about my art, but I don't take myself too seriously.

I'm a fun loving guy who loves to joke around and kid. I have a lot to offer the right woman, and I'm very serious about finding the love of my life. I hope it is you! It’s a pleasure going out and taking in a movie or music event. I like the simple things in life like walking on the beach and holding hands, sitting on the sofa and talking or watching a movie. A glass of wine and good conversation is a great thing when you are with the right person.

I'm a widower and I have been looking for that one and only, once again. I want to travel and see the world or just drive off on a long weekend trips. I like humorous or romantic movies and I also like the sounds of the forties and fifties. I'm financially stable. Oh yes, I have a great respect for women, for without them, I wouldn't be here. Just holding hands is a turn on for me, and I'm a pushover for a pretty face. Why not give this guy a chance to know you? Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of your life, so let's take that step together.

I eat healthy and workout to stay in shape and hope my new love will do the same.

The things I'm looking for in a woman are, first honesty, your beauty inside and out, and your humor, and the generosity of your heart and spirit. Oh yes, I’m a touchy feely guy who likes to touch and be touched. I hope that my dream gal is out there somewhere and she sees my profile.

Hope this tells you something about who I am.

I look forward to meeting you.

Well, to describe what a first date would be, would depend on where the date is to take place. It may be a meeting just for coffee, or it might to take a walk on a trail, or going someplace nice for dinner or just a glass of wine. In other words, that is to be determined.
